Here With You is an 89-page mixed gen and slash Starsky & Hutch fanzine.
It is subtitled: "A Tribute to Kaye Austen Michaels" and was published in 2010.
The zine was created as a tribute to Kaye Austen Michaels for her contributions to Starsky & Hutch fandom.
The front cover is by Enednoviel. The interior art is by Enednoviel, Moni K, and Nicol Tyler. The back cover "Passion" by Nicol Tyler.
The zine was produced in two versions: a public version which was offered for sale, and a private one which was distributed only to KAM and the contributors. While three of the contributors originally chose not to have their pieces in the public zine, they authors ended up posting them later online.
From the Editor's Foreword
To my dear Kaye Austen Michaels,You know how you can think, “I’ll just do this little thing here, and then this little thing there, and it’ll be short and sweet and-whoa, what the hell just happened?”
Yeah. Funny thing…
The zine you hold your hands was meant to be a one-off, just a small collection of stories, meant solely to amuse you and bring a smile to your face. Something slightly larger than your average “In Appreciation” card, so you would know just how much the Starsky & Hutch fandom loves you and appreciates you. A way to show you, “We’re here with you.”
And my timid, cautious (and filtered from you!) requests on my Live Journal for stories and art were met with a bouncing parade of authors and artists, anxious and able to write or create something for you.
It grew. No longer short and sweet, it became a bigger secret, kept carefully by those in the know. My updates were greeted with assurances that stories were in the works. And when they started to arrive, I started to get nervous!
I reached out to Flamingo and Keri, who patted my hands and chucked me under my chin, and said, “Don’t worry-we’re here to help you.” Triangulated phone calls between three time zones occurred and email inboxes filled fast with advice, suggestions, and .pdf proofs. Without the two of them, I’m not sure this would have turned out as well as it did, and so a huge heaping scoop of thanks belongs with them. With chocolate on top. And sprinkles. (Red and white ones, of course!)
I’m extremely humbled, and proud, of the work that has been printed here. Every author, artist, and beta put best-faith efforts into this zine. There are even two stories in here-one a sequel to the other-written by a first-time author! All because of you.
There’s a little gen, more slash, and a whole lot of love and admiration. We hope you enjoy it and that it will bring a smile to your face for a long time.
With all my best to you, darling Aurora, and all my love.

Reactions and Reviews
[Cheap Sunglasses]: Flamingo is one of our fandom's very best writers, and this piece is a great introduction to her longer works. It's a lovely "discovery" fic, with Hutch becoming aware of his feelings for Starsky. There's some humor, some angst, some kissing -- all of it beautifully written. And ZZ Top! [8]
